Tree
-Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
詠樹
我從未見過任何壹首詩
像壹棵樹那樣美。
樹那饑渴的嘴緊貼
甘甜豐潤的大地；
它天天仰望上帝
高舉茂盛的手臂臂椏祈禱；
夏天，樹的發中有知更鳥築巢；
冬日，它胸前披戴雪花
還和雨***度吉辰良宵。
蠢人如我寫詩，
唯有上帝能造壹棵樹。
